This is no problem with my video card, but with D3D initialization of Cinder, I create an engine in vb6 that uses D3D this same computer and it works perfectly, as well as other engines like crystal shire.
-
Regarding my problem, what do I do?
-
Yes, I installed all
This error occurs when I open "Cinder.exe" and "Updater.exe" -
I already have vb6 installed, then there is problem of standards dlls, tried to register the dll **unrar.dll** and yet still giving this error

System Rank, which exist in all MMORPG where the player ranks higher level.

**Sorry my english**
Hello friends, I think we all know how a system of rank, something essential for a true MMORPG, know that there are some systems rank around and perhaps many of you already have, but this is a simple and complete do- so, system fully tested and approved.
**Open Client**
**1 -** In frmMain, create a Picturebox called **picRank**
**2 -** Within the picRank create a ListBox called **lstRank**
**3 -** Create a button called **cmdRefresh**
**Obs.:** It should stay like this:
**4 -** Select the Option Visible False in the picRank
**5 -** In same button **cmdRefresh**, double-click and replace:
```
Private Sub cmdRefresh_Click()
End Sub
```
**6 -** By:
```
Private Sub cmdRefresh_Click()
' If debug mode, handle error then exit out
If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler
SendRequestRank
' Error handler
Exit Sub
errorhandler:
HandleError "cmdRefresh_Click", "frmMain", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext
Err.Clear
Exit Sub
End Sub
```
**7 -** In **modConstants**, search for:
```

Good Guardian 
-
Very good, love it, it's always good to improve eclipse origins, avoid sending unnecessary things, congratulations, this tutorial is more valuable than many systems that have bugs around and the newbies love him.
-
Are bugs on the version of eclipse origins v2 officer, who has the same bugs provavalmente on derivative versions as you mentioned, since these versions are just a bunch of poorly made and bugs systems, systems upon systems.
-
This shows how vulnerable system the speed of player and NPC, any hacker can hack the game and change the speed you want, would be interesting to create something on the server that impessa high speeds ….
-
You can improve your code, Instead of:
```
Case "/hide"
If GetPlayerAccess(MyIndex) < ADMIN_CREATOR Then GoTo Continue
If Player(MyIndex).Invisible = True Then
Player(MyIndex).Invisible = False
Else
Player(MyIndex).Invisible = True
End If
```
Use
```
Case "/hide"
If GetPlayerAccess(MyIndex) < ADMIN_CREATOR Then GoTo Continue
Player(MyIndex).Invisible = Not Player(MyIndex).Invisible
```
Never use it
```
If Player(Index).Invisible = True Then
Name = ""
Else
Name = Trim$(Player(Index).Name)
End If
```
ALWAYS use **vbNullString**, because the **""** leaves a space of 6 bytes in memory, while **vbNullString** leaves 0 bytes in memory
So let the code this way
```
If Player(Index).Invisible Then
Name = vbNullString
Else
Name = Trim$(Player(Index).Name)
End If
``` -
I expanded the tutorial covering the bank also stopping you from deposit or withdraw an amount of money 0.
Any member of staff could change the topic title to:
> [Bug Fix] Fixing Errors on Trade and Bank -
**Sorry my english**
In trade you can exchange an amount of money 0\. At the bank you can deposit or withdraw an amount of money 0\. No error in the client or server, but it would not be a very good thing to let that happen.
**Open Server**
**1 -** In **modHandleData**, within
```
Sub HandleTradeItem
```
**2 -** Look for:
```
' make sure they have the amount they offer
If amount < 0 Or amount > GetPlayerInvItemValue(index, invSlot) Then
Exit Sub
End If
```
**3 -** Below add:
```
If Item(itemNum).Type = ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY Then
If amount < 1 Then Exit Sub
End If
```
**4 -** In **modPlayer**, within
```
Sub GiveBankItem
```
**5 -** Look for:
```
If amount < 0 Or amount > GetPlayerInvItemValue(index, invSlot) Then
Exit Sub
End If
```
**6 -** Below add:
```
If Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(index, invSlot)).Type = ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY Then
If amount < 1 Then Exit Sub
End If
```
**7 -** Also in **modPlayer**, within
```
Sub TakeBankItem
```
**8 -** Look for:
```
If amount < 0 Or amount > GetPlayerBankItemValue(index, BankSlot) Then
Exit Sub
End If
```
**9 -** Below add:
```
If Item(GetPlayerBankItemNum(index, BankSlot)).Type = ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY Then
If amount < 1 Then Exit Sub
End If
```

Valentine -
That's why I created tutorials to fix this problem
http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129445-bug-fix-fixing-serious-errors-in-trade/
Still, I appreciate you trying to help your shape -
It would be interesting to find out something that you can take to not limit the stay of DirectX8 using graphics potency of 2, I still could not do it, nor advise using GDI has loss of performance, but I know it is possible, I've seen engines that closed source creator had achieved it.
-
Relmente I was grateful to see people interested in improving the desepenho DirectX8, is a good initiative. But this may not be the best, you'll probably have to redo, for some reason I quoted the above.
-
Could you tell what is being corrected? I was a little confused by this code, you mainly use
```
TryCreateDirectX8Device Function () As Boolean
```
Why The Function of CS is better than this new sub it is you saying to replace, since **TryCreateDirectX8Device** is not complete.
You are saying to use **CheckTilesets, CheckCharacters** … besides others, but the way it is in the CS is faster because it loads the amount and puts in the DX8 memory only once. -
I put this, for if the player has left the party and for some reason the server trying to divide the exp using **Party_ShareExp**, it will exit the sub.
-
The First
```
' send update to all - including new player
SendPartyUpdate partyNum
SendPartyVitals partyNum, targetPlayer
``` -
The delay is a normal thing, this procedure may not be necessary.
-
These corrections were made by me and Terabin long ago and are outdated, use the corrections of my new threads, I redid a better way.
-
This fix is ​​for Eclipse Origins v2, should be adapted to derived versions such as 2.3.
I have no way of knowing how the engine you're using, I work with corrections official version -
**Sorry my english**
I realized that the client version is not sent to the record, enabling a player can register for a customer out of date.
**Open Client**
**1 -** In **modClientTCP**, look for:
```
Public Sub SendNewAccount
```
**2 -** Beneath:
```
Buffer.WriteString Password
```
**3 -** Add:
```
Buffer.WriteLong App.Major
Buffer.WriteLong App.Minor
Buffer.WriteLong App.Revision
```
**Open Server**
**1 -** In **modHandleData**, look for:
```
Private Sub HandleNewAccount
```
**2 -** Beneath:
```
Password = Buffer.ReadString
```
**3 -** Below add:
```
' Check versions
If Buffer.ReadLong < CLIENT_MAJOR Or Buffer.ReadLong < CLIENT_MINOR Or Buffer.ReadLong < CLIENT_REVISION Then
Call AlertMsg(index, "Version outdated, please visit " & Options.Website)
Exit Sub
End If
```

[Under Recreation][ORPG] Cinder - Igniting Embers

Posted
> Unable to intialize DirectX8\. You may be missing dx8vb.dll or have incompatible hardware to use Directx8.
Again I repeat that I work with engines in that using vb6 directx 8, all dlls are properly installed and registered, you need to redo the engine initialization, I advise the use initialization of crystal shire. The crystal shire, mirage creation, essence engine… works perfectly here.
I tried putting Device 1,2,3
It's weird because my computer works with Device **software**
```
D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING
```
